The flow pattern at the inlet of the catalyst layer in a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system is one of the key parameters influencing the performance of the denitrification process. In the curved diffusing parts between the ammonia injection grids and the catalyst layers, guide vanes are installed to improve flow uniformity. In the present study, a numerical simulation has been performed to investigate the effect of the geometrical configuration of the guide vanes on the aerodynamic characteristics of a denitrification facility. This application has been made to the existing SCR process in a large-scaled coal-fired power plant. The flow domain to be solved covers the whole region of the flow passages from the exit of the ammonia injection gun to the exit of the catalyst layers. ANSYS-Fluent was used to calculate the three-dimensional steady viscous flow fields with the proper turbulence model fitted to the flow characteristics. The root mean square of velocity and the pressure drop inside the flow passages were chosen as the key performance parameters. Four types of guides vanes were proposed to improve the flow quality compared to the current configuration. The numerical results showed that the type 4 configuration was the most effective at improving the aerodynamic performance in terms of flow uniformity and pressure loss.

Interest in ESG management, which spread through the UN PRI in 2006, has recently spread throughout our society. Consumers use a company's activeness in the ESG field as the standard of consumption behavior, and the international community is reorganizing and strengthening various regulatory measures. In the investment market, non-financial performance (ESG information) is used as an important investment indicator along with financial performance (credit rating). Due to these changes in the corporate evaluation paradigm and market pressure, if a company neglects ESG response activities, it is more likely to be excluded from market selection, and accordingly, the importance of ESG management is also increasing. Companies are making various efforts to secure legitimacy in response to these market pressures, but in the process, it is difficult to systematically manage and utilize records/data that are the basis for ESG management. For a basic understanding of ESG management, this paper summarizes the emerging process of ESG and the current ESG-related regulations applied to companies. Through this, it can be seen that ESG management is not carried out with the good will of the company, but is accepted as a management strategy for the survival of the company according to the change in the corporate evaluation paradigm. Through interviews with the company's ESG-related personnel, the company's ESG response process was divided into passive communication and active communication, and the problems identified during the interview were summarized for each communication type. In addition, in the process of passively and actively communicating ESG management information with internal and external stakeholders, the possibility that ESG archives can function as a tool to overcome problems for each communication type was raised, and five types of ESG archives that can play this role were presented.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of hydrochemical variation of groundwater on the gas tigtness in an unlined oil storage cavern. The groundwater chemistry is greatly influenced by the seawater mixing, the water curtain and the dissolution of grounting cements. The chemical composition of groundwater greatly varies ac-cording to both the location of monitoring wells and the sampling period. Most of groundwater shows alkaline pH and high electrical conductivity. The chemical types of groundwater show the dominant order as follows : Na-Cl type > Ca-Cl type > $Ca-HCO_3(CO_3)$ type. Thermodynamic equilibrium state between chemical composition of groundwater and major minerals indicates that carbonate minerals except clay minerals can be precipitated as a secondary mineral. It means that the secondary precipitates can not greatly exerts the clogging effect into fracture aperture in rock mass around oil storage cavern. The content of total organic carbon (TOC) shows a slightly increasing trend from initial stage to late stage. The $EpCO_2$ was computed so as to assess the gas contribution on the $CO_2$ in groundwater. The $EpCO_2$ of 0$\~$41.3 indicates that the contribution of oil gas on $CO_2$ pressure in groundwater system can be neglected.

World population has increased rapidly following the industrial revolution, reaching 7 billion in 2012. Several forecasts estimate that this number will rise to about 8 billion in 2025. Improvements of living standards in developing nations have also raised resource and energy demands worldwide. In consequences, human beings have faced many global and urgent problems, such as global warming, water and food shortages, resource and energy crises, and so on. Many ocean utilization technologies for avoiding or reducing such big problems have been developed, for examples $CO_2$ ocean sequestration, seawater desalination, artificial upwelling, deepwater mining, and ocean energies. It is important, however, to assess such technologies from the viewpoints of sustainability and public acceptancy, since the aims of those technologies are to develop sustainable social systems rather than conventional ones based on fossil resources. Inclusive Marine Pressure Assessment and Classification Technology Research Committee (generally called IMPACT Research Committee) of Japan Society of Naval Architects and Ocean Engineers, has proposed Inclusive Impact Index "Triple I" as an indicator, which can predict both environmental sustainability and economical feasibility, in order to assess the ocean utilization technologies from the viewpoints of sustainability and public acceptancy. This index was considered by combining Ecological Footprint and Environmental Risk Assessment. The Ecological Footprint and the Environmental Risk Assessment are introduced in the first part of this paper. Then the concept and the structure of the Triple I are explained in the second part of this paper. Finally, the economy-ecology conversion factor in Triple I accounting is considered.

석탄화력발전소의 CO2배출량 감소와 고효율, 대용량화로 인해 초초임계압(USC:Ultra Super Critical) 화력발전소의 건설이 증가하고 있다. USC 발전소는 효율향상을 위한 증기온도와 압력의 상승 때문에 보일러 고온고압부에 기존의 소재에 비해 고온강도와 내산화성의 재료물성이 향상된 신소재 적용이 불가피하다. 특히 사용된 신소재 중에서 보일러 본체를 구성하는 수냉벽관(Water wall), 과열기와, 재열기용 튜브 및 후육부인 헤더와 배관재로 기존의 2.25Cr-1Mo강을 개량한 2.25Cr-1.6W계 내열강이 적용되고 있다. 2.25Cr-1.6W강은 SMI와 MHI가 공동개발한 소재로 1995년 튜브제품이, 1999년에 단조, 파이프재, 플레이트제품이 ASME code case로 등재되었고, 2009년 ASME code case 2199-4로 개정되어 사용 중이다. 이 소재는 2.25Cr-1Mo강에 고온강도 개선을 위해 석출강화효과가 있는 V과 Nb을 첨가하였고, 탄화물의 열적안정성과 고용강화효과 증대를 위해 W을 첨가하였다. 그리고 제작성과 용접성 및 재료의 인성 향상을 위해 B첨가와 C함량을 낮추었다. 합금성분의 첨가와 조정에 의해 고온강도는 개선되었지만, 보일러 설치 및 보수를 위한 용접과정에서 용접금속과 CGHAZ(Coarse Grain HAZ)에서 용접균열이 발생하였다. 대부분의 용접균열은 용접결함이나 고온 혹은 저온균열이 아닌 2.25Cr-1.6W계강의 강도 개선을 위해 첨가한 V과 Nb이 용접후열처리 도중 입내에 MX형태의 미세석출로 입내를 강화시킴으로서 발생한 재열균열 민감성 증대에 기인된 것으로 판단된다. 이에 본 연구에서 용접 및 후열처리 과정에서 용접금속과 HAZ에서 발생하는 용접금속의 응력분포를 전산해석을 통해 확인하고 실제 후육파이프 용접부에서 잔류응력을 측정해 비교하였다. 용접부 응력분포는 SYSWELD 프로그램을 사용해 해석을 수행하였고, 발전소 실배관재의 용접부 응력측정은 수평부 측정이 용이하도록 지그를 부착한 Potable 잔류응력측정기를 사용해 Hole Drilling Method(HDM)를 적용하여 잔류응력을 측정하였다. 해석 결과 CGHAZ부위의 잔류응력이 용접금속과 기타 부위에 비해 높은 응력분포를 나타냈으며, 이는 CGHAZ와 용접용융선 부근에서 균열이 발생하는 실제값과 일치하는 결과를 보였다. 실제 배관재 용접부에서 측정한 잔류응력값은 항복응력의 약 50% 이하 응력값을 나타냈다. 배관 구조에 기인한 시스템응력의 영향을 제거하기 위해 배관재 용접부를 중심으로 양끝단을 절단 후 용접부에서 측정한 응력은 항복응력 대비 25%수준의 낮은값을 보였다. 그러나 배관재가 장기간 고온환경에 노출되었고 용접금속 내부의 균열이 발생한 상태에서 측정하였기 때문에 용접잔류응력은 상당부분 해소되어 상대적으로 낮은 응력값이 얻어진 것으로 판단된다.

The bonding process should be achieved in vacuum environment to avoid air bubble. In this study, we studied about pressure uniformity that became an issue in thermo compression bonding usually. Uniform press is realized by the method that use air spring and metal form spring. The concept of uniform press using air spring is removed except pressing direction in the press processing so angle between the vector of pressure surface and the pressure axis is parallel automatically. Air spring compensate the errors of machining and assembly. Metal form compensate the thermal deformation and flatness error.

최근 전자산업의 발달에 따른 전자제품의 소형화 및 고기능화 요구에 대응하기 위하여 저항(resistor), 커패시터(capacitor), IC (integrated circuit) 등의 수동소자를 개별 칩(discrete chip) 형태로 형성하여 기판의 표면에 실장하는 기술이 일반화되고 있다. 그러나, 수동 소자의 내장 기술은 기판의 패턴 밀도의 급격한 향상과 더불어 수동소자의 내장 공간도 협소해지는 문제점이 있다. 상기의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 개별 칩 형태의 내장형 저항체를 박막 형태의 내장 저항체를 구현하는 기술의 개발이 최근 주목을 받고 있다. 박막 저항체는 기존의 권선저항 및 후막저항과 비교하여 정밀한 온도저항계수를 가지며 이동통신에 적용시 고주파 영역(GHz)에서의 안정성과 주파수 특성이 좋다는 장점들을 가지고 있다. 박막 저항 물질로는 높은 경도와 우수한 열적 안정성을 가지고 있는 TaN (tantalum nitride)이 주로 사용되고 있다. 일반적으로, TaN 박막은 스퍼터링을 사용하며 제조되며 TaN 박막의 성질은 탄탈륨과 질소의 화학정량비, 박막의 결함 정도, 또는 공정압력 및 증착 온도, 플라즈마 파워 등과 같은 공정조건 등의 변화에 민감하게 변화하므로, TaN 박막의 다양한 연구가 더 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 반응성 마크네트론 스퍼터링을 사용하여 TaN 박막을 Si 기판 위에 증착하였고 TaN 박막의 원하는 특성을 제어할 수 있도록 질소 분압과 total gas volume을 조절하여 공정을 최적화하는 연구를 진행하였다. 또한 tensile pull-off 방법을 이용하여 TaN 박막의 부착강도를 평가하였고, 온도 사이클 및 고온고습 환경에 노출된 TaN 박막들의 열화 특성들에 대하여 연구하였다.

In this study, the leak-free performance and sealing endurance safety of CNG fueling nipple in which are related to the contact normal stress and equivalent true stress have been analyzed for CNG automobile using a finite element analysis. For the conventional circular o-rings and new double-lip o-rings with an initial compression rate of 15 percentages, the leak-free performance of double-lip o-rings with two contact sealing spots is 41% higher than that of the conventional circular o-rings with a contact sealing spot. The FEM computed results present that the leak-free endurance safety of double-lip o-rings with two contact sealing spots is 5% higher than that of the conventional circular o-rings for initial compression ratio of 15 percentages and a gas compression pressure of 8MPa. And, the maximum equivalent true stress of double-lip o-rings is 10.2% higher than that of the conventional circular o-rings for the leak-free endurance safety. This means that the double-lip o-ring may guarantee the extended sealing life compared to that of a conventional circular o-ring.
